One thing I was wondering is if there's any way of using figlet on alt
tags?

For anyone that doesn't know, figlet is a program that turns text from

this

into 

 _   _     _
| |_| |__ (_)___
| __| '_ \| / __|
| |_| | | | \__ \
 \__|_| |_|_|___/

($> figlet "this"   - rpm available from ftp.redhat.com and it works on
mandrake too.)

I was wondering if theres any way to put it in alt tags for an image so
that a text based browser will see it. I saw somone on one site had put
html tags in the alt attribute so it looked like this

<img width="xx" src="xx" alt="<pre>
 _   _     _<br />
| |_| |__ (_)___<br />
| __| '_ \| / __|<br />
| |_| | | | \__ \<br />
 \__|_| |_|_|___/<br />
</pre>" />

but that doesn't work in Links text based browser at all. The reason I
was wondering is for title images where it says the name of your project
etc.

Also do any of the arty people in the group know of a good source of
free images for websites etc? All the "free" sites I've found with
photos etc require you to mention their website.. and..xx and..xx . Are
there any truely free resources out there that anyone knows of? (I know
about the NASA site)
